Tenacious New York Employee Rights Attorneys Recover Benefits and Compensation for Employees Misclassified as Independent Contractors

Putting an end to employee exploitation

Businesses
have turned to misclassifying employees as
independent contractors to avoid the costs
that come with having employees on the
books. At the premier New York employee
rights law firm
Hepworth, Gershbaum & Roth, PLLC,
our knowledgeable attorneys take a stand
against businesses who misclassify employees
to save money.

Determining whether you have been
misclassified as an independent contractor
in New York

Whether
your independent contractor lawsuit is based
on New York law or the
Fair
Labor Standards Act, the inquiry
made by the court is substantively the same.
Your entire case hinges upon how well your
attorney is able to frame the facts of the
case in your favor. Winning these lawsuits
requires a New York City
employee
rights attorney who is an expert
in litigation strategy. The three main
factors that determine whether you are
entitled to recover damages for being
misclassified as an independent contractor
are:

How
much control does the employer have over
how you do your job?

How
much control does the employer have over
the business aspects of your job? Do
they provide you with equipment and
control where you get supplies from?

What
is the general nature of your business
relationship? Is there a termination
date and are you able to work for other
employers simultaneously?

Does being misclassified as an independent
contractor really make a difference?

The
benefits of being considered an employee add
up quickly. Once the court determines that
you are actually an employee of the
business, our job is to prove the full
extent of the damages that you have suffered
due to your misclassification. The types of
damages that our NYC employee
misclassification attorneys are often able
to recover for you include:
